About
Hi, I’m Courts. I’m doing the same PGDA/CTA year you are right now.
Before this, I tutored accounting all through my undergrad, and I completed the Bridging to CTA through Milpark with two distinctions and an average of over 70% across all four modules. That came from a lot of trial and error in how I studied, and these notes are what I wish I’d had from the start.
Each section is a standalone PDF: the principle, the standard or section of the Act, the calculation layout, and the traps that cost marks in tests. Everything is in plain language and readable on a laptop or printed. You don’t have to buy a whole module. If deferred tax is what’s keeping you up, buy deferred tax.
Outside of studying, you’ll usually find me at the pool coaching swimming to younger kids. Helping people and giving back has always mattered to me, and this is my way of doing that for students going through the same year I am.
Reviews
I loved these PGDA notes! They broke down the content into bite-sized, easy to understand sections and included practical examples that made applying the theory much easier. I especially found the Auditing notes helpful when the class material felt a bit disorientated. Everything was explained so simply, which helped me feel confident that I had mastered the content and made a big difference when attempting past test questions.
Hey Courts! I really like your notes, especially because of how practical they are. They don’t just teach the principles — they also focus on exam technique and, importantly, how to structure an answer, using simple practical examples to make the concepts easier to apply.
I also really like how I feel after working through them. I feel more confident and have a much better mindset going into practice questions because I feel like I’m not only learning the content, but also preparing myself for how I’m actually going to answer the questions in the exam.
Another thing I appreciate is that you really focus on what’s important. Sometimes lectures can go off on different tangents and you end up wondering what you actually need to take from it. Your notes cut through that and keep me focused on the key principles and what I need to know.
Overall, they’ve been really helpful for me, particularly because they bridge the gap between understanding the content and actually being able to apply it in a question.
FAQs
The things students ask most about the notes, paying and downloads.
Every section is a PDF. Open it on a laptop, tablet or phone, or print it — the layout holds up either way.
A comprehensive summary of the topic, with the core concepts and principles explained clearly and in full. Worked examples where the topic calls for them, with calculations and applications done step by step. Everything is structured around the PGDA syllabus and SAICA's competency requirements.
No. Sections are sold individually so you can buy only the topics you're weak on.
I built them from my own studies on Milpark's advanced accounting bridging course to CTA, where I finished with an average over 70% and two distinctions. They follow that course, but they should help just as much if you're doing a bridging course to CTA at another university or institution. Switch the shop to "Bridging course" to see them.
The SAICA PGDA/CTA syllabus, with taxation based on current South African legislation and IFRS as applied in the local programme.
No. They're a study aid, not a replacement for official SAICA/PGDA syllabus content. Every effort goes into making them accurate and thorough, but there's no guarantee they capture every concept, update or requirement in full.
